Union Deal Works

Enough is never enough, it seem,s with some who keep looking to middle-class workers to solve the budget deficit. The negotiated five-year contract extension is a positive step forward for our state, because Connecticut needs more stability, not less.

Having the state be able to know exactly what to account for and for how long is exactly what the state needs. Having workers know how much their health insurance is going to cost helps them budget as well.

Too much is uncertain about Connecticut's budget these days. Having one thing set in stone for a few years is a good thing for both workers and our state. In fact, several corporations have stated their hesitancy in coming to Connecticut is because of the lack of stability. Having important budget items allocated for the future is exactly what our state needs.
